40 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D LISTENERS RO TOOFFERPIONS Lafount Expects to Learn Radio Reaction From Clubs in West. “Listeners’ Clubs” are said to be popular community institutions in the West, and it is from some of these that Commissioner Harold A. Lafount expects to sense public reaction to re cent changes abong broadcasting sta tions effected by the Federal Radio Commission in the interests of better reception. In r a projected initial tour of his zone of far western States, Commis. sioper Lafount, the newest member of the radio control bod; id he was scheduled to address such clubs in bl home city, ke City, and in n Francisco u Ar S, Both Commissioner Lafount and Commissioner n Pickard are sched- | uled to leave this week for visits to| their respective radio zones. Commis- sioner Lafount leaves Sunday and has announced his itinerary Commis- sioner Pickard, whose zone embr the Middle Western group of Stat is being held up by doctor's orders due 10 an illness which has kept him con: fined for the jast 10 days. He hopes 10 leave either Wednesday or by the end of the week.

In each | he will set up headquarters and | the broadcasters will be invited to | bring their problems to him. He ex- pects to return to Washington shortly after January 1. Quiet reigns at headquarters of the Radio Commission, where attention i now being paid primarily to the re- sults of the recent radical changes. Only a few more shifts are scheduled to go into effect December 15. N. more changes re anticipated until February 1, 1928, under present pians of the radio centrol body The only announced action of im- | portance by the commission within a | week has been the granting of a con struction permit to the National Bat tery Broadcasting Co. of St. Paul- | Minneapolis to build a 10,000-watt | transmitter which will consolidate the | old WAMD. Minneapolis, and KFOY, | St. Paul, and operate as KSTP, St Paul, on the frequency of 1,350 kilo- cycles (222.1 meters). This is regarded here as another indication of increas. ing realization among the broadcasters of the utility of the wave lengths in the lower end of the broadcast band, hitherto shunned by most stations be. | cause of the fear that they cannot be | hearw. on the low channels. It is the | commission’s contention that three fourths of the radio sets now in use | can pick up all of the frequencies in | the broadcast band below 1,500 kilo- cycles (or above 199.9 meters). The Goodrich Zippe: who will lead the procession of WRC's musical fea- tures tonight, have arranged to pre- sent an eight-minute tabloid version of the musical comedy, ‘“Sultan of Sulu,” consisting of the principal or- chestral and vocal numbers, abbrevi. ated and woven together as a har- monious whole without dialogue. The weekly opera presentation of {he National Grand Opera Ensemble, to bb broadcast between 10:30 and 11:30 o'clock, will be Leoncavallo’s “Pagliaccl.” Ivan Ivantzoff, baritone, formerly of the Imperial Theater of | Petrograd, will sing the role of Silvio. As is customary the major portion of WRC’s Wednesday night attrac- announci: missioner from Sunday, will the his itiner- | | gram. tions originate in its own studio. These include the resume of political | f!alrs by Frederic William Wile, the | W. B. & A_hour and the Kitt hour --f_ music. In the latter period there will be an illustrated lecture on the | musical scale by Alexander Henne man, pianist, assisted by Elvina Rowe, svoprano. The W.
